Sure! I'm trading H1, but trade only first 2 hours of NY session (3rd hour is not good to enter, only to close previously open trades). So BigE timings are very good!

that is also good too!

however, some people will say you did not respect the OP and did not follow his posts and rules:

I hate trading 5min-15min-30min charts. Why? You have to monitor each trade from beginning to end and hope and pray you made a correct entry. I only trade 1hr charts during the the 1st 3 hours of the USA OPEN and 4hr trades at night. I check for set ups at 10pm Pacific,2am and close all 4 hour trades by 6am Pacific.... You ever woke in the morning popping on your puter and find you made 150 pips while you slept... guaranteed to put a smile on your face and a skip in your step.

TDI bounce entry to catch the momentum of NFP. Movement was quick and hit 50 pips TP before market close.

Lets review this UCad H1 trade setup.

- if we do not use the TDI for exit but instead make use of the HA candle and manage our trades with risk R and R-Multiple Exit Management,

how many Rs profits would you have made with that H1 Price Action trade setup?

There were situations where Big E said he would not exit using the TDI.

WHEN TO EXIT ----------------- OK there appears to be some confusion here... According to the rules you exit when the TDI GREEN LINE goes flat, check mark reversal or hooks over.... this is for the conserative trader and works great. However.... note the blue box on the TDI below. See how the green line archs like a worm crawling up the red line without crossing red. You could have stayed in the whole trade without exiting until green crossed red finally. {image}

Personally I don't see any difference in trading 1m or 1h. Just different approaches and strategies. For example I'm trading with very cool guys in their trading room every day and in most cases it is 1m timeframe.

Another strategy I use is 1H TMS-like but with some improvements. First is that I'm trading from London Open to NY open + 2 hours. Second that I'm using not only stochastic and TDI but Asian HL as some kind of channel (use it for distance calculations too).

Rules of entry for long (example):
1. Working hours 10:00 - 17:00 (icmarkets server time)
2. Stoch, TDI rules from TMS
3. Candle open lower, candle close higher than Asian High.

If go opposite then add x1 size the same direction at the middle of Asian channel. If go opposite more add x2 to global position and reverse the trade. Or just SL at that place and that's all. Works pretty good, winrate is >50%.

For example here we have 1 long and 1 short. Blue areas are Asian HL, then lines (Red and Green) are Asian HL projection.

Here is example of averaging in the middle of Asian HL. Entry was taken because candle cross Asian High, but then it go down. Then it was averaged and successfully closed in profit few hours later.

Here second trade has both TDI and Asian HL cross together. I call it AAA setup. They are very profitable. First one was also good, but there were no stoch (green triangles in this case). But before second signal there were also stoch. So it was stoch, TDI and Asian channels cross. AAA setup.

Nice to see that you have an edge that gives you consistent results, especially when the win rate is rather low. Few people will stick with a system long enough to collect enough data to arrive at a meaningful conclusion about win rate or consistency.

Personally I don't see any difference in trading 1m or 1h. Or any other time frame.
BigE said the 5-method "works on all time frames." As does IMT.

Incrediblle... (608)... Works on all time frames.

Just different approaches and strategies.
Some systems don't need alternate strategies. BigE never mentioned a need to use a different strategy for different TFs. Likewise, IMT uses the same set of rules for all TFs: The values for some of the parameters are SCALED according to the TF, but the approach and strategy remain the same.

{quote} Hey @T4Trade I did not direct you all to use many EAs. I post to reply to questions asked here and in PMs. When using PMs, I cannot attached charts, etc. You have to post and ask specific questions and with charts, this is the way I can help you like I help others. I replied to you post already and I repeat these below. Different EA trade managers work differently and you have to decide which EA trade manager you want to use. Different trading tools like the TMS_V19 and TMS Monitor will help you with some of the 5-Method trade setup alerts....
i ask for the big apology first of all,i asked you that out of frustration because i thought that i have to learn all these EAs to manage my trades but since you explained that it depends on traders personalities what they prefer and it depends on the strategies and situations of market ,so they pick the Ea to manage their trades.
i must commend your studies ,your experience and finally your generosity and dedication towards other traders,thank a lot.

BigE said the 5-method "works on all time frames."
I don't know if original TMS works good on lower TFs, it seems to me there will be too many entries. For TMS 1H is perfect. But with Asian HL it works perfect even on 1m TF. I'm trading it with all the 21 pairs (no CHF pairs) and on Gold. Earlier I also traded us500 and de30, but there are a lot of issues with lot size, holidays, session time and so on and for me it is better not to trade them at all. BTW it works perfect on crypto as well, but you need to adjust "Asian" session, because on crypto there are +3 hours shift. The day starts at 3am (icmarkets server time).

p.s. trading gold can be only available if your lot size is 0.03 at least, because it will be 0.01 for gold. If you trade 0.01 lot size it is not possible to trade gold.

Monday July 05 is Bank Holiday in the US but with several PMI data and OPEC meetings,

and it is also a Monday after last Friday' Non-Farm Payroll

so be prepared for narrow range quiet market

and also

Hallo Haendlerin

the TMS_5EMA MTF is to help use see the Price Action around the 5EMA on higher TF .

I think it is useful for M5 and M15 scalpers see the "daylight" between moving averages.

Use it for practice and train our eyes.

of course TDI still is the heart of the method.

well,

the stochastics works in all timeframes
the RSI works in all timeframes
the MACD works in all timeframes
COWABUNGA works in all timeframes
Big E's 5-Method works in all timeframes

but,

TMS as a system does not work in narrow range sideways quiet market conditions.
TMS as a system works better in wide range sideways volatile market conditions.
TMS as a system works best in trending market conditions.
